Preparation

Thinly slice the onions and chillies, julienne the ginger, and grate the garlic.
Drain and cut the tofu into 1cm pieces.
Shred the leek or spring onions.

Cooking

Place the onions, ginger, garlic, chillies, tofu, miso paste, chicken stock, and noodle seasoning sachets into the slow cooker.
Cover and cook on high for 4 hours until the onions are softened.
When nearly done, soak the shredded leek or spring onions in ice-cold water to curl.
Add the ramen noodles to the slow cooker and cook for an additional 5-10 mins until just tender.

Plating & Serving

Divide the ramen into deep bowls.
Season with soy sauce and chilli oil to taste.
Drain the leek or spring onions and add a handful to each bowl before serving.

Notes

For an extra touch, consider adding soy-marinated eggs. Hard boil and peel 4 eggs, then marinate them overnight in a mixture of grated garlic, soy sauce, mirin, sesame oil, and chilli flakes. Halve the eggs and place them atop the ramen before serving.
